Hey ^^

I like Kimizuki and Shinya too - but also Crowley^^ he's funny, and I like Guren too. I was really happy when Shinya showed up in the novel xD. When Guren didn't want to make any friends to hide his true strength, and was bullied all the time it was Shinya who wanted to become his friend so...eagerly. (And that's only the first chapters! So no major spoiler)

So as you said you're a Shinya fan, I'd really recomment the novels to you.

Yep also Mika has some kind of development in the second season, not as much as Yu, but he starts to understand, that he might not be able to run away with Yu in order to save him from the humans. But he still doesn't like humans and vampires alike. Only Yu.

Aahhh - something came off wrong I guess - they DID NOT screw up Kimizukis name - it was only an example how they sometimes mess up the names - with Seraph of the End, they stick really closely to the original pronunciation - it's only the...way they speak sounds a bit old fashioned.

But there are Anime where they totally screwed up the names - and it sounded horrible!

About the manga - yeah the English version releases vol 10 soon and the German has just released vol 3. As my sis reads the German version, I don't have a bad conscience about buying the English version, though. Of cause it is important to support the local manga industry so I might would have buyed both versions if my sis did not read it xD But I'm not sure about that.. although - when I read pandora Hearts I buyed all the ones released in German  and the new ones in English - but later I also buyed the German version (that must have been about 8 volumes - so that's ok)

I also like comparing the English to the German translation - quite interesting sometimes^^

(As for Pandora Hears, something was very dissapointing in the German version - while Rufus Barma spoke old Japanese in the original version and old English in the English version...he just spoke the same as all the other characters in the German version...Same in the Anime)

I have watched all the Servamps episodes so far - and like you, I can't imagine we have only one left!! o_O. Sure hope they really do produce a second season.

Have you any link or something where the English dub can be heard or, is it only coming in TV??

I just got my 9th volume (servamp) yesterday. I must say, I really like it, when they use the japanese suffixes (- chan, -san, -sama) in the German version too - unfortunatly, they didn't in Servamp. Here they say only Kuni instead of Kuni-chan, or Herr Touma (Mr. Touma) what sounds kinda strange to me. And there was thas scene ( chapter 48) where Touma gives Tsurugi a cigarete and tells him in the original (if my translation is right of cause) something like "we made it this far - just a bit longer until we prove the worths of our lives" or something - in the German version Touma says "You can't break down now, not after we made it this far (this part still seems correct but then...) after YOU've finally proven the worth of your life."

I was pretty sure Touma spoke about their both lifes - not only Tsurugis - and I thoght, that the worth still has to be proven...That would also fit to the part in one of the latest chapters where Touma picked up the little Tsurugi and asked about the reason he and Tsurugi are alive for.

But most of the translation is just as what the originals says I guess. (I also read translations from the internet if it comes to whole chapters, I don't understand everything - but with the conversation in chapter 48 I was pretty sure)

Where I live - there is no bookstore at all xDD - It's a 1000 people village xD. I have to drive to the next town (10 minutes) to buy food and stuff and I have to visit a lager city to find a bookstore that has manga (by train about 1h). But I like the village life - I do have good connections to go to next town so, I'm fine^^

So have you been to Euruope? Or were you born in Australia? (I know I'm curious) - what country do you originally come from then? I've always lived in Germany - but I've seen some other countries during vacation^^

And I also think it's pretty cool Australia takes part in the ESC^^. I often thoght Germany's "chosen song" for the ESC is not what I liked best - and when we scored pretty low I often was wondering why THEY were wondering about the score...but that's just how our tastes differ I guess...

Yeah Xillia is pretty cool^^ - the story needs a bit time to come into flow - but then I had problems stopping because I wanted to know how this goes on so badly xDDD. It's about "what you will give to follow your mission" and "to find your mission in this world". If you play Xillia, I'd recomment you start with Jude's side (you can chose either Milla or Jude), because the Milla side is more fitting for the 2nd playthrough.

I haven't played Berseria myself but it's sounds good and I already like some of the characters. It takes place in the same world als Tales of Zesteria (but much earlier - still some of the Zesteria characters have an appereance in Berseria). You don't need to play Zesteria first (but if you want to know the story - Zesteria has an Anime (Tales of Zesteria the X) so - you can watch it if you like.

I am now waiting for the first scans of Servamp's latest chapter ^^ - I'm curious what Tsurugi will do....
